I loved my day at Chester Zoo recently:
When shooting against glass if you have a lens hood try and get the hood flat against the glass to reduce reflections.

Yup I'll admit it was pretty hard, there are bright areas in the middle of the pool that fall off pretty quickly, always have opportunity for more shots though, thanks for the comment :)

Always nice to get a little colour in with the Lions, this was the most I saw him move pretty much all day, they sure love to sunbathe!
